Unfortunate title snippings

Who knew that one of the things writers would need to be concerned about someday was software that renders graphics containing titles. It has become really important to really think about what will happen when a particular word gets shortened or abbreviated in these instances. I rather doubt that the original writer ever imagined needing to consider such a thing. And unless their target audience has changed quite a bit recently, I rather doubt that Encore Westerns really intended to convey such a tacky image in their channel's lineup.

Quote Of The Moment
The notes I handle no better than many pianists, but the pauses between the notes - ah, that is where the art resides!
